Mission 2
With mission 1 done and dusted it was only logical (and a fundamental requirement) to move on to mission 2. It’s a fairly easy mission to get on with and because it’s one I have struggled with in the past I pretty much know the best way to do it. Anyway.
I’m tasked with taking out an opera singer and his boss while they are rehearsing. The theater they are in is being renovated which means there are plenty of workers about. A gun has been placed for me in a jacket which is being held by reception. The gun is a working version of a prop gun used in the production which is handily fired at the singer as part of the performance.
Starting in the lobby of the theater I hang around near the public toilets, naturally. A guard comes out and I try my best not to look suspicious. The last thing I want is to be questioned about why I’m hanging around the gents. Eventually a maintenance guy turns up and enters. As he is taking a piddle I put him to sleep with some sedative via a needle, steal his clothes then throw him into a convinently placed container. He’s going to have bathroom issues for the rest of his life – poor guy.
Now I’m disguised as a worker I should have full access to the innards of the theater. Indeed I do so dutifully nip inside and start heading upwards. I go past some changing rooms and up some service stairs to some rigging above the center stage. I can see the rehearsals going on below me with the singer actcing out his execution scene. What is up here that is of importance is some big heavy lighting precariously hanging over the stage. I plant a bomb. This isn’t for our un-aware singer though, no. I know exactly how this little play is going to unfold so I bide my time.
Next I head back to the changing rooms and sneak into the ‘executioners’ room. He has some notes on a table which I steal then hide in his cupboard and wait. I feel a bit pervy but so is the job of a hitman. With their scene over a bell rings and the actors go to their designated rooms including the executioner for whom I wait. He places his prop gun on his table, dicks around for a bit then notices his notes are missing so promptly leaves the room to look for them.
Out of the cupboard I pop and switch the real gun for the prop one. Ha. See my genius. What happens next is of course the obvious. The executioner accidentally executes my first target for me. After a short commotion the boss (target 2) runs over onto the stage and greaves his lost actor. At this point I sneak behind the stage and detonate the bomb next to the precarious rigging. Metal crashes down onto target 2 and one of his guards. Job done.
Now I just head back to the toilets to put my suit back on and leave. No shots fired, 3 accidental deaths, perfect hit. So yeah, unfortunately thats just a bit of a ‘how-to’ guide but it’s a level I know like the back of my hand. Mission 3 awaits though and I’m sure it’s a bit trickier.
Yep thats exaclty how I did it.. text book. However my first attempt saw me “pop” both with the sniper rifle and then ensued an uzi fest with lots of dead guards and a carefully thought “hmm should probably retry that” and the click of the mission restart..
Loving this game at the moment.. Next mission also had me vexed for a while but got that done nicely too. It is harder for me as its my first time (really) playing it, where as you have the advantage of knowing what to do already, I have to figure it all out.
Glad im doing them at least a mission ahead of your posts.. Means I feel slightly better when I find I’ve done it the same way.. although I am doing it on easy tho…
